Electricity billing had evolved from the days when utilities gathered monthly energy consumption data to produce a paper invoice that they sent to customers via mail. The use of smart meters, such as two communicating meters, makes it more readily adaptable to streamline the process. Utility billing software market helps in managing the utility operations, customer information, and billing functions. For instance, Starnik, which is a software company for utility billing, provides cloud-based electricity billing software for the modern-day utility industry.
The incredibly innovative electricity billing software of the company has helped to revolutionize the way utilities collect and process daily usage and billing data. With the electricity billing software developed by the company, it is easy to receive and store 15-minute interval reading from smart grid-enabled devices.

COVID-19 scenario analysis
- Utility market is losing revenue. Several utilities are facing revenue reductions, like the suspension of water billing (for all or part of the population), have been a common and understandable feature of several countries’ response to the crisis.
- The second challenge is the reduced availability of critical elements for operations such as chemicals for water treatment, fuel, or spare parts. Water utilities are also facing challenges in covering labor costs and providing sufficient personal protective equipment (PPE) to their staff at a time when income is drying up. They are also adding costs as they provide water services to vulnerable communities by increasing access to water points, tanker services, and other enhanced delivery mechanisms.
- The third challenge stems from the deferment of critical investments to meet the more urgent necessity of funding emergency responses. This is affecting areas such as the expansion of services, asset rehabilitation, and other capital expenditures.
- The COVID-19 had an enormous challenge for the energy industry as utilities were disproportionately burdened as they not only had to cover the costs of unpaid electricity but also the taxes, duties, levies, and grid fees.
